It's not like I set out to do an acoustic or mellow thing. Regarding Sleeper 's overall acoustic aesthetic, Segall noted, "There wasn't any intention behind it, which is the weird thing. It felt good, to be able to work hard and really stretch out the whole production." Writing and composition My friend Eric Bauer was in San Francisco, and I'd go to his house three to four times a week.
It was a lot of, "I don't know where this is going man," and then a lot of, "I don't know if people are going to dig this," and, "What is this?" and then, "Oh shit, I guess this is it." I didn't set out to do an acoustic thing." Segall elaborated, "I'd record with the eight-track in my house, and then I'd go over to a friend's house and record. I thought at first it was all demos and then they eventually became songs. Regarding Sleeper 's recording process, Segall noted, "It was like I didn't really know what I was doing. If she hears it and decides that she wants to change what she's doing with her life and wants to rethink what's going on, then there you go, that's great." You only have one mother, technically, so that's pretty intense, but that's the thing. That's another reason I was like, "Should I put this out?" I'm directly calling out my mother and saying "Crazy" is about her. I don't want to go into details, 'cause that's not classy.
I'm a bit bitter about that relationship. Segall stated, "I hope she hears it, 'cause she needs to wake up and change what she does with her life. It just was necessary for me to put that out there, recording a song or writing it down on a piece of paper to get it out of my head and body, so I could move on to other things." Īt this time, Segall became estranged from his mother, writing the track "Crazy" directly about her. Following the album's release, Segall noted, "It was just therapeutic, really. The album was written and recorded following the death of Ty Segall's father, Brian Segall. Still, in November 2013, an official video for "The Man Man" was released.
The album is notable for being the first without a promotional single since Segall's self-titled debut album. Ones about sleep and death, and it's from there that I'd write stuff from. Plus, I was having all of these awful dreams. I had been through some rough stuff, like my dad passed away, and was going through some relationship issues, too. Upon the album's release, Segall noted, "I was not in a good spot. Recorded between January and March 2013, the album features primarily acoustic psychedelic folk compositions, and is influenced by the death of Segall's father and his subsequent estrangement from his mother.
Sleeper is the sixth studio album by American indie rock musician Ty Segall, released on August 20, 2013, on Drag City. January - March 2013 515 National Street, San Francisco
